I realized that those are pretty much the only two days of the year I do anything with my hair. You can see a picture of my outfit on my blog...I like how it turned out! The skirt is from Goodwill and I had just finished the shrug, and they look great together!<br><br>I like your background too!Lady Blanche Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04289281498635278374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675308438959148454.post-2089641500603454122010-04-05T15:05:02.772-05:002010-04-05T15:05:02.772-05:00Very good point!

I think the significance of having "new" or special attire for Easter Sunday is to reflect the hopefully new state of our souls after the graces of Lent! I am always saddened to see jeans at Sunday Mass, but on Easter Sunday it's really something. I mean, if you aren't going to dress nice for the biggest day of the year, when are you going to dress up?!?<br><br>Of course, then there's the whole sadness of girls who TRY to dress up for Church by donning a cocktail dress...which leads into the whole discussion of the fashion industry's big lie that formalwear MUST bear skin. In a lot of ways, it's even worse than the casualwear.<br><br>So, now that my little rant is done... Lady Rose, aren't you going to grace us with photos of the lovely apparel that I'm sure the D ladies wore? :)Clairehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09723067016206324874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675308438959148454.post-73637050904851813192010-04-04T14:05:58.100-05:002010-04-04T14:05:58.100-05:00Thank you Rose.

I belive that our bodies are a reflection of our souls so how we dress says something about the attitude of our hearts. <br>I also find it interesting that the same folks who wear jeans and t- shirts to holy Mass will dress up for a party or to go out to dinner. I don't know anyone who wouldn't put more then a little effort into their wardrobe if they were going to a wedding. How much nicer then should we dress if we are attending the Wedding feast of the Lamb of God Himself? <br>As a little girl my mom always bought me a new dress. I have since stopped growing and so no longer need a new outfit but I continue to try to dress up a little better for the BIG feast days. This year I did buy myself a new skirt and sweater from a secondhand store. With it I am pairing mary janes I have had for years and a blouse that was a hand me down. Last night at Mass a friend of mine asked if the skirt was new to which I proudly responded I got it "used". I was hoping to wear my "Easter bonnet"(a.k.a straw hat)but alas it was too chilly so I stuck with my chapel veil. <br>I hope you and your family have a blessed Easter. ~Ardhoniel <br>P.S. I loove the Easter backdrop.
